First, I congratulate the Cabinet Secretary on his new appointment. I trust that he will change and transform the National Treasury for the benefit of the people of Kenya. My question is on the NHIF pending bills for faith-based hospitals in the country, particularly Bishop Kioko Catholic Hospital in Machakos, which NHIF owes Kshs60 million. It is not only Bishop Kioko Catholic Hospital, other hospitals too face a lot of challenges, yet people go to hospitals and pay with the NHIF.
